Realistically what would it take? We’ve often seen protesters in front of the white house picketing the fence but none of them is stupid enough to break down the gates and get their head blown off by the fbi . As a Democracy we are suppose to be allowed to change our government but I don’t see the CIA/FBI letting that happen. I just want to know is it possible and what would it take.
btw CIA i'm not cosigning overthrowing the government just a question
You can't overthrow one branch of the government and call it a day. The White House is the executive branch, the legislative and judicial branch make up the other two. A total take over would involve taking over Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and the White House.
The Secret Service protect the White House, not the FBI.
The contingency plan would be the US military would prevent taking over the country physically. Even if a group took over the Capitol building with all senators and congressmen, and the White House with the President and Vice-President and the Supreme Court with all the Supreme Court justices, the military including National Guard and would fight back. There is no military that could do this without being spread out too thin. America is huge.
A takeover would have to be a coup. A huge population of the US would have to want to take over the government, like either the Democrats or Republicans, to turn the country into a one-party dictatorship.
